Engage a lawyer to represent you before the family court and mahila court. Get a written statement or reply properly drafted from a lawyer and file it. This would be the most important document which will decide the fate of your case ,so get it properly drafted. You may consult

Dear client The best way forward would be in case you want to get separated is would be to file for a mutual consent divorce which will save you time and money both. In case any false cases have been filed against you, they would have to be withdrawn before proceeding for a multual consent divorce. Rest would need to peruse your documents to guide you further. feel free to get in touch to discuss.

You have both civil remedies as well as ciminal remedies. In the present case, the wife is entitled to take along with her all the gifts and items that were given to her at the time of marriage. Other than that, if she takes anything else, you can file a criminal case against her.
